Stanza Posted June 1, 2023 Report Share Posted June 1, 2023 This week`s DADSC auction is a a relatively rare DAFC shirt - see pics. It's the commemorative poppy-red shirt that DAFC players wore against Ayr United and Alloa Athletic in Aug/Sep 2018. The design commemorates the exploits of Davie Hunter VC and his platoon (“The Seven Heroes of Moeuvres”) during the Great War and the full story is on the DAFC website HERE. The shirt is not framed – it is labelled as “Large” but is probably somewhere between “Large and “Medium”. It was one of the spare shirts produced for the club, so it is un-numbered and hasn't been worn by a player or anyone else (you could have your own details printed on the back). It’s possible that its rarity value could push the price up – we certainly hope so. Bids can be placed on this thread or by private message to myself. Bidding closes at 7pm on Sunday 4 June. There is a reserve price of £50 and bids must be in whole pounds. All money received will go to the DADSC fund for improving access to the 1st Floor function suites at EEP for those with mobility problems. The shirt is being advertised elsewhere and I will try to update all threads as to the leading bid, but don`t rely on that - get your best offer in early to stand the best chance of success.

Stanza Posted June 1, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2023 Good start, thanks. But it will be a real bargain if that's the winning bid! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a favorite of mine. If wasn't for weddings, stags and sisters moving June/July. I'd have gone up to double. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stanza Posted June 2, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2023 A bid of £60 has been received from bamba-daft on dafc.net, so this is now the price to beat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SanguinePar Posted June 3, 2023 Report Share Posted June 3, 2023 £60 is an absolute steal for a shirt like this - I bought one at auction a while back and it was a lot more than that! Beer may have been involved in my decision making process, admittedly :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stanza Posted June 3, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2023 Agreed, but good luck if someone can pick it up at that price! Auction closes at 7pm tomorrow (Sunday) so we'll see what happens ... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
